A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
优越
Superior
The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.
强者是弱者的天意。他是瞎子的眼睛,是软弱人的力量,是无防备人的盾牌。他弯下身子,俯视着倒下的人,笔直地站着。他通过举起别人而站起来。
At the Sahara, the seats are banked and most of the audience is looking down at the stage. Everybody in the business knows: Up for singers, down for comics. The people want to idealize a singer. They want to feel superior to a comic. You're trying to make them laugh. They can't laugh at someone they're looking up to.
在撒哈拉沙漠,座位都是倾斜的,大多数观众都低头看着舞台。这个行业的每个人都知道:对歌手有利,对漫画不利。人们想把歌手理想化。他们想要比喜剧演员更有优越感。你只是想逗他们笑。他们不能嘲笑他们敬仰的人。
